Here are the standings through games played 5/24:

	Total WAR	Max WAR	Hitters	Pitchers
frankman10	22.6	4.5	17.3	5.3
LG47	20.7	2.5	11.2	9.5
CarLoogy	18.3	2.4	12.0	6.3
Dandretti	17.2	2.0	9.2	8.0
ThePetis	16.9	2.3	12.5	4.4
AdamBanks	16.7	3.0	8.7	8.0
keanuthon	15.6	2.7	12.3	3.3
mattb723	15.3	2.0	10.7	4.6
nick5253	15.0	2.7	9.0	6.0
Jevant	13.6	2.0	7.7	5.9
Okobojicat	12.9	2.2	8.5	4.4
CEW	10.3	1.9	4.1	6.2

Frankman10 is rolling with 2 hitters in the top 5 (Bautista & Granderson). To go along with those 2, he has 7 other guys with WAR above 1. Luckily for the rest of the league, his pitchers aren't producing as well. Only 2 of his 12 pitchers have a WAR > 0.7.

LG 47is dominating the pitching side of things. He has 3 guys out of the top 8 in King Felix, Jered Weaver and Daniel Hudson. His best hitter has been Denard Span with 2.5 WAR.

CarLoogyhas Jose Reyes carrying the offense (2.4 WAR) plus good numbers so far for pitchers: Anderson and Shields.

Dandretti has gotten the most out of his bullpen with 2.7 WAR as well as decent contribution across his roster. If Adam Dunn could show up (-0.2), this team would much better off.

ThePetis is being carried by his hitters. 9 of which have a WAR > 0.8. Lead by Zobrist and Braun.

Adam Bankshas gotten nearly equal performance from his hitters and pitchers. Kendrick is currently 2nd with a WAR of 3. As far as pitching, Cahill, Lee and Lincecum are as good as you would think (1.4, 2.0, 1.5 respectively)

KeanuthonDan Uggla is dragging on this team similar to Adam Dunn. Unfortunately, the pitchers have been the worst in the league.

MattB723has literally gotten 0 WAR from his bullpen.

nick5253despite flawless draft strategy, this team isn't very good. Votto has been as good as 9 of the other hitters combined. Plus Marlon Byrd's attempt to bunt with his face is going to cost his a long stint on the DL.

Jevant has Rasmus, Tulo and Sandoval carrying his offense with Marcum and Price leading the pitchers.

Okobojicathas 4 guys making up his offensive output: Kemp, McCutchen, Cabrera and Youkilis. The injury bug has hurt his pitchers with Cashner and Bailey missing a lot of time.

CEWhas some real probelms. His biggest expenditure was Furcal who is sporting a -0.5 WAR. Not a lot of hope here.

The most expensive players for team hasn't really paid off too well:

Player	Team	Salary	WAR	Team Rank
Dan Uggla	keanuthon	9.2	-0.2	22
Adam Dunn	dandretti	12.0	-0.2	22
Ryan Zimmerman	LG47	11.7	0.6	14
Tim Lincecum	AdamBanks	14.0	1.5	3
Rafael Furcal	CEW	12.0	-0.5	24
Albert Pujols	Jevant	16.0	0.9	7
Adrian Beltre	nick5253	14.0	1.7	2
David Wright	mattb723	14.3	0.5	13
Kevin Youkilis	Okobojicat	12.3	1.9	2
Ricky Nolasco	ThePetis	6.0	1.0	8
Robinson Cano	frankman10	10.0	1.2	9
Jose Reyes	CarLoogy	11.0	2.4	1

Only 1 is the top and only 4 are in the top 5.

Also, please let me know if your total is incorrect and I will fix it. I have already found a couple of errors as I was posting this.

thanks for doing this

Adam Dunn is killing me. I’m hoping he can get a few days off and really get it going before the break. He came back too early.

Kelly Johnson has gone from -0.3 to 0.5 in just a couple weeks so hopefully he chills with the K’s and gets on a roll.

Russell Martin has been my biggest surprise at 2.0 WAR already. I snatched him up thinking he’d manage about 3.0 if I was lucky for the year. Hopefully Girardi running him into the ground doesn’t send him to the DL.

My pitching has been right where I expected it to be. I hope Josh Johnson comes back strong after missing a couple starts with shoulder inflamation.

Jason Heyward has got to stop trying to hide injuries. He’s too young and talented to ruin his career ‘toughing it out.’ As a Braves fan this has been particularly hard to watch. You’d think he and the medical staff would have learned their lesson last year with the thumb.

Bring MLB to Portland.

Thanks for compiling this update.

I’m still amazed that my hitters have put up so much value, especially considering Daric Barton has been awful (-0.7 WAR).

It does help that I’ve gotten way more value than expected from guys like Avila and Maybin.

Thanks for the update

I have been wondering how my team stacked up.

I’ve been happy with a majority of my players, but Manny Ramirez, Francisco Liriano, and Edinson Volquez have been major disappointments.

Was Ricky Nolasco really my most expensive player? That’s sad…

When you compiled these, did you just go into fangraphs one player at a time or is there a list of everyones players on there?

Standings

I have it down to a pretty quick process. On Fangraphs:
1. Click Leaders – Batting Leaders 2011
2. Change the Min PA drop down to 10, click Submit (This returns more players)
3. In the URL, change the &qual=10 to &qual=1, click enter (This returns all players who have had an AB)
4. Click Export to Excel.
5. Repeat for Pitchers

I take both of these excel sheets and drop them into a template excel doc I have created with all of our rosters on it. Each roster page has VLOOKUPS to those downloaded leader pages to grab the WAR for each player (actually goes to both the pitcher and hitter pages and adds them for the NL pitchers).

I also have a summary page that grabs the totals for each team and that’s what I posted here. I also breakdown the teams across varies subgroups, to see who is contributing what.

Probably much more detail than you wanted, but as an Excel geek, it’s fun to put these together. If anyone wants the template, I can email it and you’d be able to update dails and compile a time series for your team.
